Medium Vibration Sensor Switch

This Medium Sensitivity Spring Vibration Switch provides a simple way to detect movement and vibration, closing its contacts when disturbed and remaining open when still.

The "poor man's" accelerometer/motion sensor! These spring-vibration switches are medium sensitivity non-directional vibration induced trigger switches. Inside is a medium hardness spring coiled around a long metal pin. When the switch is moved, the spring touches the centre pole to make contact. So, when there's motion, the two pins will act like a closed switch. When everything is still, the switch is open. Great for basic projects and wearables! We also have a version with a stiffer spring called the Slow Vibration Sensor Switch, which is harder to trigger, and a version with a very soft spring called Fast Vibration Sensor Switch, which is easier to trigger!
